Hi there Andy This is Phill Wilson, Im from the UK, I can totally empathise with your situation , it wasnt much more then a year ago that I first bought an RC20 as my beginnings of a loop rig. Isnt it just the way, that as soon as you get a new piece of kit, you find you want ot do something just a little bit more then what you can easily do with it, trust me , as a brand new EDP user I can say it never seems to let up. I have however , thought up a pretty cost effective work around for you. if you bought an A/B box and placed it before your RC-20 with the single jack connected to your guitar. You could connect the A line to your RC-20 then into a (passive) volume pedal and then run line B past the RC20 to connect up with line A either at the input of a stereo FX(If you got em!) or into the second line of your amp(if you got one of them) or failing that into a splitter Y shaped cable (you get them from most music shops and I imagine Radioshack type places). In practice you could then play and loop till your hearts content, then switch from A to B and carry on playing whatever you dont need recorded, then simply reduce the volume of the RC-20 whilst you play on..........Voila!!! hope this is a help?
